Lyrics: “Ballad of Dairus McCollum” by Dare Dukes
West 4th, A Train to Borough Hall, transfer.
Be still and listen for your god’s whisper.
Chorus:
Don’t touch emergency breaks unless you’ve heard the call.
Electric motors are the prettiest transmitters of all.
Lyrics: “Bakersfield” by Dare Dukes
They said, “Don’t go. Nothing in Bakersfield.
A hot wind do blow and cracks both heart and field.”
Through pleas and threats, the ache it would not yield.
I never meant to go out of my head, then I heard she’s in Bakersfield.
